Spilove Psychotherapy is working to do a better job about lifting marginalized voices including black and queer voices. One way we are working to do this is by highlighting and featuring these marginalized voices in our newsletter, blog and other social media platforms. We asked our friend, Christie if she would be willing to share her coming out with us for pride month and to use our platform to post about her small music business.
